Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1695: Breakthrough, Martial Arts Great Power
Outside the seclusion room at Dongli Sword Palace.
"Palace Master Ao, thank you for your trouble this time." Xiao Yi cupped his hands.
Ao Donglou waved his hand and said politely, "Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao is too polite, it’s just borrowing the seclusion room, a trivial matter."
"Hehe." Ao Donglou said while smiling.
"I was wondering why Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao with his strength came here to participate in the competition."
"Turns out it was the assessment of the three Masters of the Main Hall."
Ao Donglou seemed to have solved the puzzle he’d been pondering and let out a proud smile.
Xiao Yi, hearing this, felt a bit helpless but knew he couldn’t refute, so he simply ignored it.
He cupped his hands and went straight into the seclusion room.
...
Inside the seclusion room.
Xiao Yi set up dozens of barriers to lock down the surroundings.
Last time, at the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, although it was a wake-up call for him.
Yet, under heaven, how many can possess such legendary cultivation and power as the three Master of the Main Hall.
So he was not worried.
Still, he has always been cautious, so he set up barriers.
Even here in Dongli Sword Palace, Ao Donglou doesn’t have the ability to effortlessly break his barriers.
Xiao Yi sat cross-legged.
Yet, under the mask, his expression remained helpless and somewhat resentful.
Originally, returning the title of the three Main Halls was just the first step in his plan.
Next, he already had a way to completely return the three General Orders.
Just need to wait for him to finish this competition here and take the rewards, then he can start implementing.
He never expected, however, that the three Masters of the Main Hall would seize the initiative and send Jiu Yan ahead.
Now, in front of the Central Region’s various forces, Jiu Yan announced the matter, leaving Xiao Yi with little chance of refusal.
"The three Masters of the Main Hall truly have excellent tactics." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
"However, it does not mean I am without solutions."
Xiao Yi suddenly smiled.
Though he found the matter troublesome and felt the three Masters of the Main Hall were somewhat ’cunning’, this kind of strategic play was indeed interesting in some aspects.
So Xiao Yi, for the most part, merely felt helpless.
Thinking about this for a while, Xiao Yi decided to stop thinking about it.
Currently, cultivation is of utmost importance.
There is more than a month and a few days before the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb opens.
What he needs to do is strive to improve his cultivation and power so that he can have a greater chance at the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.
Though, it was only a greater chance.
Absolute certainty, that’s impossible.
The Ancient Emperor’s Tomb has existed for countless years and opens every 15 years, yet no one knows how many times it has opened.
In the Central Region, there have been countless extraordinarily talented individuals throughout the ages.
Various forces’ heavenly talents, as well as those from hidden forces, etc.
But until now, the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb remains a mystery unsolved by anyone.
It is imaginable how immense the difficulty in solving the secrets of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb must be.
Even Xiao Yi, or Mo Youu, the Five Great Academy Talents, and the heavenly talents here at Dongli Sword Palace with the title, have very little confidence.
Their confidence is extremely low from the start.
The holders of titles from the Five Great Academy were vigorously cultivated starting half a year ago in an attempt to increase their chances.
Xiao Yi is now doing the same.
Suddenly... a flash of light, and he retrieved the Universe Ring he obtained earlier.
After sensing it for a moment, Xiao Yi nodded.
Indeed, the rewards inside were massive and satisfying.
This event gathering the Central Region’s powers indeed offered generous rewards.
And the rewards were provided by Dongli Sword Palace.
Dongli Sword Palace, for the sake of this directly obtainable title, even offered the strongest sword technique copy from within the palace, showing the preciousness of the title.
Thus, the other cultivation resource rewards inside could not be inferior.
Thinking back, during the Hundred Schools competition, just for a title, those academic palaces engaged in much dispute and strategizing.
But now, Xiao Yi directly possessed a heap of titles.
Asura Hall, Wind Shattering Hall, two.
Demon Hunting Hall, Medicine Venerate Hall, Flame Hall, three.
Counting the one obtained here, a total of 6.
Unfortunately, the title from Asura Hall he wanted to keep and the Wind Shattering Hall’s title was given to Zhang Nanfeng and Muu Ning.
The titles from Demon Hunting Hall and others were also returned.
Otherwise, he might have thought of selling these titles.
The title obtained here at Dongli Sword Palace, though also useless, could not be sold.
This illustrates the distinction between the Ancient Eight Halls and various forces.
Forces and academies need to fight for titles; they each have only 5, totaling 10.
Whereas the Ancient Eight Halls each inherently possess one, totaling 8 titles.
Moreover, these 8 titles are directly owned and can be given to anyone without other restrictions.
This allowed Xiao Yi to give them away or return them as he wished.
However, titles from various forces cannot be freely given.
Once established, the title ownership is fixed.
Therefore, Xiao Yi’s current title can only be wasted, for he will attend the opening of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb as Xiao Yi.
Using only the title from Asura Hall.
"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
Suddenly... suddenly... suddenly...
The Alchemy Furnace, a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and materials, were all conjured out.
Xiao Yi directly began refining.
Several hours passed.
After withdrawing flames and halting refining, numerous small mountains of Elixirs surrounded him.
"Absorb." Xiao Yi uttered in a low voice.
The two Martial Souls in his body simultaneously activated, and the absorption speed reached an astonishing extreme.
While absorbing, Xiao Yi introspected the changes within his Small World.
Inside his body, the enormous Primordial Power within the Small World was rapidly ascending at a visible pace.
Initially, his cultivation was at the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm, reaching the 9100 Dao level; the Primordial Power within the Small World had overflowed by about one-tenth.
Now, the Primordial Power continued to flow and gradually rose to two-tenths, three-tenths... it was still rising.
After an hour.
Once all Elixirs were fully absorbed.
The Primordial Power overflowing from the Small World reached a five-tenths elevation.
"That will do." Xiao Yi smiled with joy.
With his enormous Small World, being able to store Primordial Power to a five-tenths level is already a formidable concept.
It must be said, this time Dongli Sword Palace indeed spared no expense for this title.
The cultivation resource rewards were shockingly abundant.
At this moment, the Primordial Power within his Small World had reached a five-tenths fill.
After leaving Dongli Sword Palace and finding a place to absorb the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, he could elevate his Martial Arts Power to a 9500 Dao level.
This means officially stepping into the rank of Martial Arts Great Power.
Currently, after all, this is Dongli Sword Palace; if he suddenly fell into hundreds of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power while in the seclusion room, it would surely arouse suspicion.
Cautiously, Xiao Yi temporarily refrained from absorbing Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, waiting until he left to absorb later.
Suddenly... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Xiao Yi waved a hand, put away the Alchemy Furnace, and erased the traces of cultivation around, then stood up and left the seclusion room.
Just out of the seclusion room.
A disciple of Sword Palace was waiting there.
"Hmm? What’s the matter?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
"Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, you’ve come out so soon?" The Sword Palace disciple showed colors of surprise.
"Did you seek me for something?" Xiao Yi directly inquired.
"Oh, yes." The Sword Palace disciple realized and nodded, saying, "Miss Shui Ninghan entrusted our Palace Master to have me wait here."
"If Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao had exited seclusion, Miss Shui Ninghan would like to see you."
"Miss Shui is seeking me?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
...
Third update.
